    Great. Now, who to believe???
    I guess I'll have to try some to see.
    These vans are getting to be hard to find in the yards though.

    They already are. My pickapart used to have tons of them, now none and haven't seen any for 2 years.

    Look at the shape, IIRC, the glass is rounder. Didn't think the door glass was the same but looking up part numbers might help.

    The 2nd gen K member does bolt right up to the 1st gen van but I heard you have to use the 2nd gen knuckles/spindles along with it otherwise it could pull your axles apart. You then use front wheel bearings off of a car to use the smaller lug nut pattern rims. I don't know if you have to use the 2nd gen knuckles but I did. I wanted the larger front brakes from a Grand Caravan.

    Thanks for that info. I'll be upgrading my brakes to the later style anyway, so I'll do it in one whole shot.

    Not much picture posting, so I'll help out.
    Here are some images of the van that started it all, and in her element.

    Thanks Jer!
    Dragweek is an experience like no other, and I was fortunate to get to experience it for a second year.
    Happy Holidays to you and your bride!
